A Comparison of the Particle Flow in Three Jet and Radiative Two Jet Events From $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $e$({CM}) = 29-{GeV}

Sheldon, P.D. ; Trilling, G. ; Petersen, A. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 57 (1986) 1398, 1986.

Inspire Record 230941 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20219

We have made a detailed comparison of the charged-particle flow in three-jet events (e+e−→qq¯g) and radiative two-jet events (e+e−→qq¯γ) from e+e− annihilation at Ec.m.=29 GeV. Accurate comparisons can be made because these two event types have similar topologies. In the angular region between the quark and antiquark jets, we observe substantially fewer charged tracks in the two-jet events than in the radiative three-jet events.

Study of Quark Fragmentation in e+ e- Annihilation at 29-GeV: Charged Particle Multiplicity and Single Particle Rapidity Distributions

Derrick, M. ; Gan, K.K. ; Kooijman, P. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 34 (1986) 3304, 1986.

Inspire Record 18502 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23443

This paper presents the charged-particle multiplicity distributions for e+e− annihilation at √s =29 GeV measured in the High Resolution Spectrometer. The data, which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 185 pb−1, were obtained at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP. The techniques used to correct the observed prong numbers are discussed. The multiplicity distribution of the charged particles has a mean value 〈n〉=12.87±0.03±0.30, a dispersion D2=3.67±0.02±0.18, and an f2 moment of 0.60±0.02±0.18. Results are also presented for a two-jet sample selected with low sphericity and aplanarity. The charged-particle distributions are almost Poissonian and narrower than have been reported by other e+e− experiments in this energy range. The mean multiplicity increases with the event sphericity, and for the sample of threefold-symmetric three-jet events, a value of 〈n〉=16.3±0.3±0.7 is found. No correlation is observed between the multiplicities in the two hemispheres when the events are divided into two jets by a plane perpendicular to the thrust axis. This result is in contrast with the situation in soft hadronic collisions, where a strong forward-backward correlation is measured. For the single jets, a mean multiplicity of 6.43±0.02±0.15 and a dispersion value of D2=2.55±0.02±0.13 are found. These values give further support to the idea of independent jet fragmentation. The multiplicity distributions are well fit by the negative-binomial distribution. The semi-inclusive rapidity distributions are presented. Comparisons are made to the measurements of charged-particle multiplicities in hadron-hadron and lepton-nucleon collisions.

Analysis of the Fragmentation Properties of Quark and Gluon Jets at the CERN SPS $p \bar{p}$ Collider

The UA1 collaboration Arnison, G. ; Albrow, M.G. ; Allkofer, O.C. ; et al.

Nucl.Phys.B 276 (1986) 253-271, 1986.

Inspire Record 229898 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.33618

A sample of two-jet events from the UA1 experiment at the CERN $p \bar{p}$ Collider has been used to study the fragmentation of high-energy quark and gluon jets into charged hadrons. Compared with lower-energy jets observed in $e^+ e^−$ and $pp$ collisions, the fragmentation function measured in the present experiment is softer (i.e. peaked to smaller values of z) and the mean internal transverse momentum is larger, mainly because of the effects of the QCD scaling violations. Using our knowledge of the quark and gluon structure functions in the proton, together with the QCD matrix elements, a statistical separation of quark and gluon jets is achieved within the present experiment. The fragmentation function for the gluon jets is found to be softer, and the angular spread of the fragmentation products larger, than is the case for quark jets.

PION AND KAON MULTIPLICITIES IN HEAVY QUARK JETS FROM e+ e- ANNIHILATION AT 29-GeV

The TPC/Two Gamma collaboration Aihara, H. ; Alston-Garnjost, M. ; Avery, R.E. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 184 (1987) 299-304, 1987.

Inspire Record 235694 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30210

The multiplicities per event of π ± and K ± are measured separately for e + e - annihilation into c c , b b , and light quark pairs at E cm=29 GeV. The K ± multiplicity is higher for heavy quark events than for light quark events. The π ± multiplicity and the π ± scaled differential cross section at low x = E beam/ E beam are found to be higher for b b events than for other events.

Observation of a New Charmed Meson.

The ARGUS collaboration Albrecht, H. ; Binder, U. ; Harder, G. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 56 (1986) 549, 1986.

Inspire Record 222219 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20225

Using the ARGUS detector at the DORIS II e+e− storage ring at DESY, we have obtained evidence for a new charmed resonance which decays into D*±(2010)π∓. The observed mass and width are 2420±6 MeV/c2 and 70±21 MeV/c2, respectively. The fragmentation function is found to be hard, as expected for a state containing a leading charm quark produced by nonresonant e+e− annihilation.

Observation of Longitudinal Event Structure in Proton Diffractive Dissociation at the {ISR}

The R608 collaboration Smith, A.M. ; Meritet, L. ; Reyrolle, M. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 167 (1986) 248-254, 1986.

Inspire Record 219984 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30272

We study the internal structure of a forward-going pπ + π − π + π − system, with invariant mass in the range 2.5-4 GeV, produced through diffractive dissociation of a beam proton at the ISR. The shape of the system, as seen in its center-of-mass, deviates strongly from isotropic phase space and possesses, rather, a longitudinal structure with a major axis along the incoming proton direction. The final state proton momentum is aligned in the direction of the incoming proton, an effect which becomes more pronounced with increasing diffractive mass.

CHARGED D* MESON PRODUCTION IN e+ e- ANNIHILATION AT S**(1/2) = 29-GeV

The TPC/Two Gamma collaboration Aihara, H. ; Alston-Garnjost, M. ; Armitage, J.C. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 34 (1986) 1945, 1986.

Inspire Record 217416 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23509

The production of charmed D* mesons in e+e− annihilations at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV has been studied using the time-projection-chamber (TPC) detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The production cross section, fragmentation function, and forward-backward asymmetry due to electroweak effects are measured, and a limit on D0-D¯0 mixing is determined.

Comparison of Light Quark and Charm Quark Fragmentation

Kesten, P. ; Akerlof, C. ; Bonvicini, G. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 161 (1985) 412-416, 1985.

Inspire Record 17116 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30349

Separate samples of charm quark and light quark (u, d, s) jets have been isolated in an experiment studying e + e − annihilations at s = 29 GeV . The results come from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 111 pb −1 collected by the High Resolution Spectrometer. Differences were observed in charged multiplicities, momentum distributions, and rapidity of the size expected from the different fragmentation functions and leading particle decay properties of the two samples.
